A concurrent resolution to urge Congress to amend 38 U.S.C. § 5304 and 10 U.S.C. § 12316 to permit members of the United States reserves and National Guard to receive full or partial active service pay in tandem with disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

This resolution urges Congress to change certain laws so that members of the U.S. reserves and National Guard can receive both their active service pay and disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs at the same time. Currently, these service members may not be able to collect both types of payments simultaneously. The goal is to support veterans by ensuring they receive the financial benefits they deserve.

Supporters of this resolution believe it is a crucial step in recognizing the sacrifices made by members of the reserves and National Guard. They argue that allowing these service members to receive both active pay and disability compensation will provide much-needed financial security and honor their service to the country.

Critics may argue that allowing dual compensation could strain federal resources and set a precedent for other service members seeking similar benefits. They might also express concerns about the implications for budget allocations within the Department of Veterans Affairs and the potential impact on the overall military compensation system.
